At the spot below by the road, the very steep ascent begins on a path up to the Marienfels cliff next to the barbecue hut and the Lümmelbank (65 meters of altitude gain over 265 meters of distance). On the way, at a fork directly after a right turn, choose the right path upwards. The upper part of the ascent is secured by a (stable as of 06.06.2026) wooden railing at the precipice. Those who prefer to skip this steep ascent can take the wide path a bit further to the right along the road past the cemetery, then turn right into the forest and relatively far up, turn right again to the barbecue hut.
